Chapter 621: What does saving you have to do with you?
The dark tide was lapping at the coast, and the original beach had been submerged. The sun could not be seen under the red rain, and naturally there were no beauties in bikinis sunbathing.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the entire sea exudes a dangerous atmosphere.
Today, the sea has become the enemy of mankind.
Two hours after the joint meeting ended, on the top of a hill near Rome, representatives of more than a dozen top forces including Countess Laurent, Beowulf, General Ye Zhan, Henkel, and Angers gathered here.
The information revealed by Yuan Zhisheng is indeed a glimmer of hope, but it is equivalent to entrusting fate to the hands of the Dragon King. Small and medium-sized forces have no other choice but to do this, but large forces like them cannot make such a simple decision.
Let’s not discuss the hatred accumulated between humans and dragons for tens of thousands of years. Even if we don’t consider this, it has not yet been confirmed whether the Dragon King is really willing to accept and save humans. It is only heard from the night watchman and Yuan Zhisheng.
Just open your mouth and say it.
That's why they are standing here at this moment.
It is not to oppose the lackey route, but to confirm whether the lackey route is reliable and whether it can get the results you want - the continuation of civilization.
And their current leader is naturally the most reliable dragon-slaying hero and the least likely to become the Dragon King's lackey, Angers.
so--
"Ange, you have to calm down. Don't fall out with the Dragon King out of hatred later!"
Beowulf held Angers' shoulders, and with his burly body and deep voice, he spoke lines that were completely inconsistent with his image, but at this moment he said these words sincerely.
Beowulf was not qualified to stand here based on his power alone, but everyone still pulled him over at the suggestion of Dame Laurent. This was not to borrow his force, but to let him persuade Angers.
It is true that the Beowulf family has always been a radical dragon-slaying faction, but radicals also have to see who they are competing with.
It can be seen from the "Horn of God" incident that they are definitely not lunatics who are willing to sacrifice everything just to slay the dragon.
And now, they are afraid that Angers will become such a madman.
Even the radicals are afraid that he is too radical. This is Angers' current situation and reputation.
Contrary to the popular Night Watchmen today, Angers, who would never collude with the Dragon King, is currently not welcomed by the surrender faction. Even though it was Angers' questioning that made the route of surrender clear, he was alone.
It is true that he cannot bring them benefits and hope like the Night Watchman. Even because of his reputation as a dragon slayer, many surrender factions do not dare to approach him, for fear that they will be liquidated by the Dragon King who has not yet revealed his horoscope.
However, none of the major forces are short-sighted enough to treat Angers coldly because of this, and he is still the most trusted person by all forces.
Rather, after this incident, he became more trustworthy.
"Yes! Angers, although we hope that you will determine the Dragon King's intentions, our purpose is to continue rather than destroy. I know this is difficult for you, but please be more restrained today."
After Beowulf, the radical, finished persuading, Elizabeth Laurent, the moderate, also began persuading.
Under the threat of doomsday, the human-dominated forces have no historical baggage and have joined the ranks of involution. The mixed-race forces are much more cautious because they understand the Dragon King better.
However, regardless of whether they are cautious or not, in the face of a doomsday-level crisis, even the most suspicious forces represented by everyone present have actually already joined the ranks of the insurrection, and have put up a list of outstanding lackeys on the Night Watch.
They are not 100% sure whether they want to be lackeys, but this does not prevent them from occupying the top position in the lackey rankings in advance.
When human organizations face a crisis, they often split into different wills like now. They will try all feasible routes until they successfully survive the crisis.
The purpose of putting up the lackey list in the internal competition is for the continuation of civilization. Now that I have doubts and want to confirm whether the route is effective, it is also for the continuation of civilization.
Countess Laurent's words were unanimously approved by everyone.
Even Henkel, an old enemy, couldn't help but speak to appease Angers.
"Finally, the old cowboy agreed to try to contact the Dragon King. Maybe this is our only chance. I beg you, please don't act impulsively!"
They hope that Angers will continue to use his keen judgment to analyze the Dragon King's true thoughts, but they do not want Angers to be bound by hatred and deliberately sabotage this meeting, causing them to lose their only hope.
Therefore, Angers' answer at this moment is very important.
If he still cannot restrain his hatred and insists on becoming an enemy of Dragon King Su Mo, then they can only invite Angre out of here before Dragon King Su Mo arrives.
"..."
Seeing the old enemies who were once extremely tough and refused to say a soft word even in the face of death, now so raw and trying so hard to soften the tone of their speech, Ange looked strange,
Feel a strange pleasure from inside.
Tsk tsk! It turns out that these guys can put down their posture!
Is Su Mo such a powerful deterrent to them?
If the situation didn't allow it, he really wanted to use Su Mo's tiger skin to scare these old friends and appreciate how they had to compromise.
Unfortunately, he knew that at this critical moment, if he made them too uneasy, these people, including his most supportive niece, would probably agree to throw him out, so as not to offend Dragon King Su Mo.
In this case, the effectiveness of their plan will be compromised.
Thinking this, Ange lazily shook his head.
"Don't worry! Although I want to slay the dragon, I am not a lunatic who would rather destroy the entire human race for this purpose. Moreover, we do not have weapons that can defeat the Dragon King now. How could I possibly attack the Dragon King?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but glance at Fingel, who was in charge of security outside the pavilion.
"Is what he said true?"
"Well! In order to prevent Principal Angers from rebelling... I mean walking alone, under the resolution of the school board, Principal Angers' authority over Norma has been temporarily suspended, so don't worry, Principal Angers has no ability to challenge Dragon King Su Mo
Take action."
"That's good. With the character of an old thief like Angers, he won't make an unprepared account."
Henkel breathed a sigh of relief.
As Angers's mortal enemy, he knew this opponent very well. Without a dagger that could kill him with one blow, this assassin would not launch an attack rashly, and would hold back even if there was any hostility.
Others finally felt at ease.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Ange showed a helpless expression.
"As for guarding against me to this extent? Why don't you guard against the Dragon King if you have the skills?"
"Regardless of whether we have the ability to defend against the Dragon King, the Dragon King will at most kill us if he gets angry. If you go berserk, you may destroy the whole world."
Henkel gave this reason.
The opportunity to communicate with the Dragon King is extremely precious, but everyone knows the Dragon King's tyranny. In fact, everyone present is ready to die, so the representatives they send are all middle-aged and elderly people.
The hope of saving the whole world is worth the cost of their lives.
As for Elizabeth Laurent, as the only young woman, she is indeed an exception because she is responsible for carrying the beauty trap part.
"The negotiations haven't even started yet, and it's made as if I'm some eternal sinner."
Angers shook his head again, giving everyone reassurance.
"Don't worry, I won't take action against Dragon King Su Mo. After all, apart from him, mankind has no other hope. In addition, I am also curious, why would he want to save mankind?"
Faced with Angers' question that was finally full of true feelings, others also resonated.
Yes, why did Dragon King Su Mo want to save them?
This is also the news that human beings want to know most nowadays. Both the capitulationists and the questioning factions want to get the answer to this question.
Even if you are a lackey, you still have to know whether your duty is to be a gatekeeper or to act cute, right?
If Su Mo needs something from them, it will make them feel at ease. Whether it is beauty or gold, they are willing to satisfy it.
Only by being able to confirm their own value can they gain peace of mind and be sure that they will not be destroyed casually.
If Su Mo had no desires or desires, they would be uneasy, worried that Su Mo wanted to deceive them somewhere and then devour them.
In this atmosphere full of worries, they not only wanted to prove the Dragon King's reason for accepting them, but also worried about offending the Dragon King.
Suddenly, a young man's voice sounded from behind them.
"Why do you want to save mankind? Do you care about the answer to this question?"
The sudden sound aroused everyone's alert. Everyone turned around and immediately saw the two people who had appeared behind them at some point.
Alchemy Kingdom, space opening!
Even if they didn't look at the fawning night watchman next to the young man, everyone could immediately identify him just by his black hair, black eyes, and almost charming appearance.
"Dragon King Su Mo?"
"Your Majesty Su Mo?!"
"Supreme!"
"..."
After a moment of panic, everyone saluted in their own way and agreed.
Regardless of whether they have enmity with the Dragon Clan or not, when they face the real Supreme, the Ultimate of the World, they have to show the most basic respect.
After saluting, everyone looked at the Night Watchman and Ange. They knew they could contact the Dragon King, but they didn't expect that the Supreme Lord would actually show up so easily.
Although Su Mo appeared to be very talkative, under the pressure of human life and death, no one dared to speak freely.
Su Mo had completely restrained his dragon power, and his eyes did not contain any anger, but the invisible pressure still filled the entire mountain range. Even Beowulf, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, felt a little breathless.
Everyone understands that this is the biggest turning point in human history, and the rise and fall of civilizations all depend on this.
After a brief silence, the first person to withstand this invisible pressure and dare to answer the Supreme question was the dragon-slaying hero Angers, who had high hopes from everyone.
"We are indeed very concerned about this. You have no reason to save us humans. I wonder if your Majesty Su Mo can clear up the confusion?"
Angers' neither humble nor arrogant attitude worried everyone, but they were relieved to see that Su Mo didn't seem angry. Fortunately, Angers wasn't that crazy.
Under everyone's tense gaze, Su Mo smiled softly.
"Is there a reason? There seems to be no reason!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and Countess Laurent even turned pale on the spot.
It’s over! If you ask this question, will it remind the Dragon King Su Mo and make him realize that there seems to be no benefit, and then he doesn’t want to save mankind?
In that case, they will become eternal sinners!
Seeing the changing expressions of everyone, Su Mo continued to speak slowly.
"I am not here to save mankind, but to defeat the enemy. Red Rain, the beast herd, the black tide, and finally Nidhogg, everything that stands in my way will be destroyed by me. As for rescuing you, I just
Just do it casually.”
Having said this, he pondered for two seconds, and then said in a casual tone.
"If there is any reason, I can only tell you this -"
After a pause, Su Mo showed them a gentle and indifferent smile.
"What does saving you have to do with you?"
"..."
The whole place fell silent, and everyone's bodies couldn't help but start to tremble.
Dame Laurent's eyes widened, and she finally understood what Su Mo meant, and finally understood why Su Mo was performing an act of saving the world, but his expression was as indifferent as a god.
Or rather, the other party is a god, and there is no special reason for wanting to save them.
Just like a child sometimes boils an ant's nest with boiling water, and sometimes throws candies into the ant's nest. These actions are neither for blessing nor for cursing, and they don't even need to have any reason, they are just what the other person wants to do.
There is no doubt that this is not the answer they want.
But at the same time, they couldn't refuse this answer.
Curses and gifts are both manifestations of God's will, and humans today are not qualified to refuse them.
After a long silence, Dame Laurent bowed her head first and responded.
"yes!"
In any case, as long as the other party does not change their mind, humanity will still have a chance to survive.
At least they were not qualified to refuse the olive branch in front of them.
Others also expressed their acceptance in silence.
Su Mo's willingness to show this attitude at least shows that the rescue itself is not a scam.
Of course, this also means that they have not received the protection of the Dragon King, and they will probably still have to survive the subsequent crisis on their own.
Afterwards, these people asked extremely respectful questions about Doomsday and Nidhogg.
After Su Mo gave the basic answer, they chose to resign with a wink.
Before everyone left, Su Mo suddenly stopped them and added.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that I am more interested in human scientific research. If you can achieve results in this area, you can exchange for my asylum."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned, and then they showed expressions of surprise.
Are you willing to let them study science? In other words, Dragon King Su Mo will not be afraid of or prevent the development of human civilization? Great!
After saying thanks, they happily prepared to leave.
At this time.
"Angers stays."
Su Mo's last words made everyone look at Angers with complicated looks of worry or fear.
But no one dared to violate the words of the Supreme Being. They left after looking at them with "I wish you a lot of luck" and "Please don't talk nonsense".
In the end, only four people, Su Mo, Ange, Night Watchman and Fingel, were left in the small pavilion.
After the others disappeared, Su Mo opened the sound barrier, and Fingel patiently checked and eliminated all possible eavesdropping devices, the night watchman breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the stone bench.
Then, the flattery started immediately.
"Master Su Mo is so kind-hearted, it's like Jesus was alive! Not only is he willing to help mankind survive the end of the world, but he also specially arranges so many links to prevent them from making mistakes. Don't tell me, even Angers doesn't have this patience!"
Hearing this, Ange, who would never go along with the Dragon King, also nodded and had to express his admiration.
"If it were me, if I pointed out the way to life, I would leave it to humans to take care of themselves. I would never be able to be as thoughtful and thoughtful as Su Mo Mianxia."
When he heard the two people's words, Finger was immediately stunned.
It is common for night watchmen to flatter horses, but it is very uncommon for Ange to flatter horses. Even when facing Su Mo, Ange's attitude has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and he has never been as impressed as he is now.
He immediately scratched his head and said doubtfully.
"What's going on? This atmosphere that only I don't understand?"
"Master Su Mo is willing to save the world, so he is certainly kind-hearted. But what does it mean to be far-reaching? Isn't Master Su Mo's attitude towards them very cold?"
Seeing the apprentice's right question, the night watchman immediately cheered up and answered.
"You don't understand this! Master Su Mo's cold attitude towards them is to maintain their sense of crisis and prevent human civilization from degenerating and corrupting because of being protected!"
"The reason why Master Su Mo wants to use tricks and tricks on weak people like them is to prevent them from making wrong choices without being calm!"
"For the strong, it is a great kindness to deliberately guide the weak not to offend themselves, lest they have to eliminate them!"
After finishing his words, when Fingel felt that he had over-interpreted something and was too flattering and had no time to praise him, Su Mo waved his hand in disgust.
"That's enough! Form a group to flatter you, right? I don't have time to listen to this."
Hearing what he said, the night watchman chuckled and said sheepishly.
"Sorry, if it wasn't to appease these guys, I wouldn't have disturbed your forging."
When he contacted Su Mo, Su Mo seemed to be forging something. He was very interested in it, but didn't ask.
After all, it might involve apocalyptic secrets.
"That doesn't matter."
Su Mo shook his head and looked at the sea not far away.
With a wave of his hand, a several-kilometer-long blue thunder electric knife condensed in the clouds and struck at the herd of beasts that had just been born in the center of the Mediterranean Sea dozens of kilometers away.
"I originally need to come out once in a while to say hello to Nidhogg to put his mind at ease."
As he said this, a giant silver dragon passed by from a short distance away. After saying hello to Su Mo, it rarely came over to rub him against him. Instead, he ran straight to the next battlefield.
"Otherwise, the current Eri may not be able to withstand the beasts from around the world!"
When he said this, Su Mo's eyes became more serious.
Two days ago, Eriyi was able to defeat the beasts. All the divine beasts combined were not enough for her to defeat, and the battle was instantly killed.
But now, two days later, under Nidhogg's dedicated incubation, the beast herd has evolved to a very difficult level. Even the power of the dragon-bodied White King cannot contain the beast herd in time.
From time to time, Su Mo or Ling would be needed to help with Su Mo's mask.
The ultimate goal of the beast herd is to trap Su Mo in the earth. As long as Su Mo keeps showing up, Nidhogg will not panic. Once he does not show up for a few hours, Nidhogg will step up his offensive.
At this rate of evolution, I'm afraid tomorrow will be the time when the Dragon-bodied Black King has to join the battle.
Hearing what Su Mo said, Fingel immediately expressed relief.
"Didn't Lord Su Mo say that all humans can be transferred tomorrow? By then, you won't have to worry about the beast herds and the black tide, and your pressure will be much less, right?"
Hearing this, the night watchman on the side shook his head without Su Mo opening his mouth.
"The Nibelungs can avoid the black tide, but they may not be able to avoid the beasts."
"Other than that, even now, I can't think of what kind of Nibelungen it would take to be broad enough to accommodate everyone in the world."
As he said that, he looked at Su Mo curiously.
It's inconvenient to ask about other things, but the Nibelungen should be fine. Su Mo also said before that the method of dealing with the Kuroshio cannot be concealed.
Seeing that the three of them seemed to be very curious, Su Mo smiled slightly, but gave it a try.
"Instead of explaining it dryly now, how about waiting to experience it for yourself tomorrow?"
Everyone has nothing to do.
Not long after, the giant silver dragon came back and seemed to have completely eliminated the beast herd in the Mediterranean. Only then did he have time to look back for Su Mo.
In order to express his condolences to Eli Yi who had not slept for two days and two nights, Su Mo immediately said goodbye to everyone, shifted in space, and stood on the back of the silver dragon's neck.
The figure of a man and a dragon immediately disappeared into the sky, seemingly heading towards the Arctic Ocean.
Only the last three people were left in the quiet little pavilion.
Seeing their completely disappearing figures, Angers looked at the night watchman and suddenly spoke.
"how?"
"How about what?"
Facing Angers, the night watchman was naturally unceremonious.
If other people knew that the two of them, who are supposed to be incompatible with each other, are actually on the same side, I'm afraid most people would doubt their own ears.
"I asked how my vision is?"
Ange said with a smile.
"Although he is indeed different from Meineke and does not like to slay dragons, after a long round of detours, my eyesight is still right. Su Mo is indeed the same person as Meineke."
"What kind of person is that?"
Fingel interrupted curiously and asked.
"People who have the power to change the world."
Angers answered patiently, his eyes bright and meaningful.
"Sometimes, we call him a hero."
His choice was correct after all. Although the process was different from what he thought and his position was completely misplaced, there was nothing wrong with the conclusion. Su Mo was indeed a hero who could end troubled times.
"Hero..."
Chewing on this term, a hint of drunkenness flashed in the night watchman's eyes, and then he raised his eyebrows at Angers.
"Do you think that by saying this, you can clear away the stain that you made a mistake and regarded the Dragon King as a dragon-slaying hero?"
"..."
Angers choked.
"Summer insects cannot speak of ice!"
"Hehe~ At least I don't have such a dark history, nor do I have the excellent qualifications like you to be used as a mother by two male dragon kings."
"..."
Angers, who has a dark history, chose to shut up.
PS: I think the change in the attitude of human forces is very important. Many people say it is watery, but I feel that I have to write it. After thinking about it, I just finished it and sent it out in one go. The human plot is almost over here, and Xia Mi is next.
The lady strikes out in the mythical form of the earthly python.
